Talent doesn’t need permission. It needs opportunity and nurturing.
"The experiences I have had on stage are truly magical, and some of the proudest moments of my life".
Odyssey is our inclusive community theatre group for adults. One Odyssey member first joined Hijinx through forum theatre workshops—but it was a spontaneous moment that changed their life.
“I accidentally joined a street parade with Odyssey in Newport—and thought, this is something I HAVE to be part of!”
Now, after more than a decade with Odyssey, they’ve grown in confidence, learned new skills, and discovered pride in their creativity.
“It has changed me in so many ways… learning that I am capable of so much more than I would ever have imagined. The idea of being on stage was, I thought, going to be a dream and nothing more. Oh how wrong I was! Odyssey helped me realise that it is something I can do, and the experiences I have had on stage are truly magical, and some of the proudest moments of my life.”
Odyssey is one of many Hijinx projects transforming lives through creativity, inclusion and performance. Your support means we can welcome more people like this—offering them a place to belong, grow, and shine.
